I am currently making an app to go with my online radio site, I am coding it with Android 2.2 (API 8) and I have got the Shoutcast Stream working with two buttons.

What you're using to play the stream has no knowledge of (and doesn't care about) the metadata. You're going to have to deal with that separately.
